Arab MKs continue to deny involvement or responsibility for the wave of Arab terror in Israel on Tuesday, while jointly blaming the Israeli government for the attacks and implying that racism is to blame.
"We, as the Joint List [...] took statements that we are against bloodshed, and we do not want bloodshed," MK Masoud Ganaim stated on Radio South. "But at the same time we want to say that the person who can bring calm is not us, it's the government, the Israeli government and its ministers."
"It is not I who started this wave of terror; I'm not responsible for it," he continued. "I say that the Israeli government must stop its steps [to fight terror - ed.] and their statements and then the matter will settle down."
Ganaim then claimed that Israel Police have been treating Arab terrorists with discrimination, shooting violent offenders who target Jews on-site - something which he claimed they would not do with an Israeli Jews.
"Even if he's holding a knife, there's no other way to disable him?" he argued. "You know, the stabber who killed people at the LGBT march in Jerusalem, Yishai Schlissel - why didn't they kill him? You know that a Jew, even if he was a murderer, even if he murdered the Prime Minister, would not be shot and killed."
Arab MKs have been embarking on a rampant incitement campaign against the State of Israel amidst the terror, with several Joint List MKs participating in pro-terror riots across the country.
Before terror flared up, a Joint List delegation encouraged the Palestinian Authority (PA) incitement against Israel's rights to defend themselves on the Temple Mount, visiting Jordan and Turkey in the process.
